Chris pointed me over here for my .02 worth so here it goes :-D

The male will hold the fry for about 20-25 days from the day he quit eating. Don't be surprised if he spits out the eggs or eats them the first few times. My male didn't figure it out until about the 4th batch. I have had three sucessful spawnings so far and raise fry from the first two. I lost my most recent batch when I moved. The male will release the fry over a period of a few days a couple at a time. Since I keep my breeding pair in a 75 gallon tank all by them selves with less than 20lbs of rock, it is very easy for me to pull the rock out and strip the male of fry. Once caught in the net, when I start to raise it out of the water the male usually spits all the fry out. It is a lot easier for me than having to watch the tank night after night to try and catch fry. I start feeding them on newly hatched brine shrimp three times a day to bulk them up as around day 10 the fry have used all yolk reserves. After a few weeks, I started to introduce frozen baby brine shrimp then cyclops-ez. I waited til my fry were about 6 mths before selling them. I have a webiste that semi-chronicles my last batch http://www.pernelf.com/banggai.html Also you should read the articles by Frank Marini here http://www.reefs.org/library/talklog...ni_020799.html Frank has his own forum on reefcentral in the fish breeding section. Hope I've given you some help.
